Every day create your history…..

History. We expect the present version of the system to be consistent with past versions of it.

What is your relationship to change?

Much as my attitude is to the introvert-extrovert spectrum, my feelings about change contrast massively. These attitudes that I hold are not binary, and I believe that I am not unique in this.

But, there is a reason why resting on your laurels is a phrase with negative connotations. In software, this is definitely true, whether we like it or not.

You only need to look at the impact that was made when Microsoft ended support for XP, to see how difficult and irksome it was for businesses and organisations to continue – either by paying for continued support or by migrating older systems to a newer OS, both of which carry a huge cost.

Changes can be both positive and negative, and perceived very differently by the end users. Forum posts are full of suggestions for new features and complaints about changes that have been made, sometimes in direct contradiction of each other.

I have been a professional software tester for over 13 years, that experience has brought me to where I am today, I strive to learn more and to share with those around me (or whoever will listen).
